Random Thoughts

   I have watched many SOTU speeches by many Presidents of both parties.  I have ‘never’ see a President of these United States publically berate the Supreme Court. I was embarrassed.

   Did you ever actually hear The President  tell us ‘the state of the union’?  I’ve never watched one of these without being told, generally the state of the union is good, great, wonderful… just never seen one without being told.  I feel cheated. 

   Hmm – more and more people of prominence have begun questioning the trial of the terrorist(s in New York City.  I wonder what has changed their collective minds.  Three of note,  my man Rudy, Mayor Bloomberg, and today I heard Governor Patterson.  I am beginning to see an escape for President Obama.

   Ford Motor <EARNED> 2.7 Billion in 2009 without taking a bailout.  Better tax their butts some more… some sort of penalty should be in order.

   I love new technology and the new IPAD has my mouth watering, but honestly I think the name is too close to the IPOD.  Just my opinion, but… btw, Apple has made boo koo buckeroos with their technology.  Better tax them!!!

   And finally, a little levity -

A married couple was in a terrible accident where the woman's face was severely burned. The doctor told the husband that they couldn't graft any skin from her body because she was too skinny.
So the husband offered to donate some of his own skin. However, the only skin on his body that the doctor felt was suitable would have to come from his buttocks.

The husband and wife agreed that they would tell no one about where the skin came from, and requested that the doctor also honor their secret. After all, this was a very delicate matter.

After the surgery was completed, everyone was astounded at the woman's new beauty. She looked more beautiful than she ever had before! All her friends and relatives just went on and on about her youthful beauty!

One day, she was alone with her husband, and she was overcome with emotion at his sacrifice. She said, "Dear, I just want to thank you for everything you did for me. There is no way I could ever repay you."
"My darling," he replied, "think nothing of it. I get all the thanks I need every time I see your mother kiss you on the cheek."
